Teaching your dog the “place” command can be a game-changer! It helps your dog stay calm and out of the way, especially in busy environments or when guests arrive. 🐾 Consistency is key, but with the right guidance, your pup can master it! Need help with training? Reach out and let’s work on it together!

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

Post-training power nap! 💤 These 7-month-old bundles of energy are snoozing away after a rewarding session that exercised both body and mind. Remember, a tired brain is just as important as tired muscles!

✨Meet the newest addition to our family, Louis! ✨As many of you guessed, I officially "foster failed" and decided to make Louis a permanent member of our household. Although taking on a young pup while raising a (human) toddler is not the easiest path, I couldn't bear to part with this sweet boy.

It's been a challenging yet rewarding journey, watching him transform since his rescue from the shelter. Louis is undeniably one of the smartest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of working with. With his high energy and drive, he craves plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. He keeps me on my toes and has already taught me so much.

At 11 months old, he's still a puppy navigating his teenage phase – arguably the most challenging stage of dog adolescence. Between him and my daughter, it feels like I'm managing two toddlers 🤪 Despite the chaos, at his core, he's an incredible dog who continues to flourish with the right guidance. Excited for the adventures that lie ahead with Lou by our side!

Thank you and for your help facilitating his rescue 🙏🏼
